You look down at a wave coming into shore. The blue water and foamy bubbles sparkle in the sun as the water comes toward you. The edges of the foam stretch along the sand but can't quite swallow up your toes.
No-interfacing Storage Basket Tutorial. As promised, a recipe for making washable stand-up storage baskets: You'll need to cut 2 of each of these pieces (click on the pic to enlarge it to a readable size).

The measurements are in centimetres because that's the way I was brought up (sorry). A seam allowance of 1cm is included in these measurements. This basket's base is 15cm wide, but you could make any size using this slightly haphazard formula, where x is the width of the base and y is the height of the basket. And 2 is cm and seam allowance. Pieces cut, sew right sides together along these seams: Sew the boxed corners of the linings by folding the pieces open, matching the side seams with the bottom seams, and stitching across: Zig-zag the top edge of the smaller lining piece.

Hem the bottom edge of the outer sleeve piece, turning up 1cm all round and stitching it down. Turn the lining pieces so that their right side faces out, and slide the outer sleeve over. Almost done, except for the fiddly part!

* THE COUNTRY CHIC COTTAGE (DIY, Home Decor, Crafts, Farmhouse): Burlap and Ribbon Pillows. Burlap and ribbon seem to be a good pair — don’t ya think?

I made some mini pillows to go in my little vintage wagon. I think they have a “pottery barnish” feel. So, wanna make some? You will need burlap, ribbon, and some other fabric (white cotton works). For the first rectangular version, I cut the burlap and fabric into 7×9 inch squares. Here is the secret — you can remove those strings in the burlap.
Cheap Metal Hooks Turn Sticks to DIY Wooden Coat Hangers.

I promise you’ll feel awesome every time you see it. All you’ll need is 5 cheapo vinyl shower curtains and your sewing machine. To get started, unfold your shower curtain and then refold it into eighths by folding it in half the longwise a few times. This will just make it easier to cut into strips. Cut 4 of the shower curtains into 10 inch strips. To make each ruffle, pin and sew 2 strips together.
Anthro Pillow Tutorial. Here is how I did it.

Supplies -Coordinating fabrics of your choice. Yardage depends on what size pillow you are making (you will need the size of your pillow + 1 inch. and then however much you want for your pintucking accent piece. It takes a bit of fabric for the pintucking… I just kinda winged it in the measurements. Assume you will need more cause it does go through the fabric kinda quickly. -Sewing machine.

Zipper foot attachment(These first few steps are the same as in the Wedding Decoration Tutorial.) First cut the bottom seam off your t- shirt. Now from the bottom up of your t-shirt, and using only the all white area, you are going to cut strips of 1 inch in width. Make sure you snip either end of your strips to create 2 strips each.
